legend goes that Greta made the guy mad on xitter and he posted a response that also included a picture of himself with a pizza box, and cops knew where to find him because of the brand on the box, but not sure if it was proven true or not

Does anyone else get the annoying bug wherein when warping to the freighter, you end up in the module that contains the portal, but somehow that entire place (which in my case contains a planetary scanner, some fleet command posts and a galactic trade terminal) becomes offset by a little bit in relation to the rest of the base, which means corridors no longer link and it's just a wall inside the module, and doors become just a tiny bit separated so that you to jump over a handrail to exit unto the external walkway?

Has anyone been able to track this to some cause? I've had it happen almost every warp while being in a certain system, while for others I've gone 2 weeks without any such incident.

I think they may be using mastodon and that's how you post in a lemmy community via mastodon, using the @ tags.

isn't NATO a defensive treaty? which would mean no obligation to participate in actions of aggression?

because saying you'd need to build a power plant for every 72 homes would not make the technology very attractive

it certainly has some 'war is peace, freedom is slavery' (and all that) vibes

they both come from the chemical name - para-acetylamino-phenol (or, more proper,, N-acetyl-para-aminophenol). random people chose different parts to shorten the name

I know your comment was light-hearted in nature, but I'd like to point out from the article:

"Investigators say the Rio Preto-Jacunda reserve is >bordered by ranches with a record of environmental crimes, >including repeated encroachments on the reserve.

Razing protected rainforest for pasture is an illegal but >lucrative business in Brazil, the world's top beef exporter.

The crime often hits remote, hard-to-police nature reserves, >overlapping with other organized criminal activities >destroying the Amazon, including illegal logging and gold >mining."

These are people looking to make a buck with a 'fuck you, got mine' attitude. And it's happening all over the world in grey-areas with regards to law enforcement. Burning down stuff is one of the favoured methods, especially if you can bribe officials to say that it was an accident (as does not seem to be the case here, however so props for that for what it's worth).

The article also mentions death threats by the ones doing the arson towards those against their interests. People are the reason we can't have nice things.

I had a slight glimmer of hope at the start of covid-19, when people were dazed and confused and isolating and waiting for a vaccine. At the very start, I actually thought humanity is proving we're not that bad.

The rest is history now.

While spez is indeed a truly horrible piece of work, we should also keep in mind that he wouldn't be doing this without having some serious backing from shareholders. CEOs are the public figure presented to us for the 2 minutes' hate but let's not forget that these decisions are taken in huge boardrooms. So maybe we should say 'fuck spez et al' instead of just 'fuck spez'.
